BDF S35 Window Film High Heat Rejection Reflective Silver 35 (Medium) - 36in X 50ft

I was a little skeptic ordering this and had my expectations really low. However, it did a really great job. I am planning to get my remaining windows covered with it. As long as the instructions are followed properly, this will work exactly as described.

This review is for two products I purchased from BuyDecorativeFilm:One Way Mirror Window Film Silver-Silver 35% VLT 36"(w) X 6 Ft(l)andDecorative Window Film Blind Plus 36"(w)x3ft(l)These products are great, and the results are even better than I expected.I used the window film that looks like vertical blinds and installed that onto the windows first. After that, I put the one way silver window mirror film on top of the other film to add some extra privacy. It was an experiment, because I was not sure you could layer the film on top of another window film. It worked great, as long as I used more of the soap/water spray for the second layer, to make it easy to lift, and to correct any mistakes I made along the way.I purchased this window film for some small older windows on the side of my house that was built in 1920. The window glass is only 17 1/2 x 25 1/2" and the windows are higher on the wall, about 10 inches from my living room ceiling. One of the windows is above a tall cat tree/tower in the living room, and I wanted privacy, but I wanted to let the light in and allow my cats to sunbathe and look outside while they're on the top level of the cat tree. The second window is above an entertainment center, and without any window covering, it would be easy to see into my windows from the neighbor's house (our houses are only about 15 feet away from each other). Instead of waiting until my husband got home and having him help me move the TV and entertainment center, I used a two-step stool to reach the second window, while leaning over the entertainment center. I was surprised at how easy and fast the window film was to install, even from such an awkward angle.I've had my house for 17 years and until today I hadn't found the right solution for these tricky little windows. The windows are such a strange size; it was hard to find the right product to fit, add privacy, and look nice. In the past, I've tried using sheers and lace curtains on those small windows, but my cats would always get hair on them, and even sometimes get their claws stuck and cause snags. Mini-blinds could also pose a hazard as the cats could become tangled in the pull-string. I also tried the stick-on temp blinds, but those are opaque and the adhesive caused the product to get stuck on the window frame and lifted off paint when I removed them.Today, the perfect solution was the blind film, with the mirror film on top of that. To finish the project, I added a short valance that covers the upper portion of the windows.I am beyond pleased with BuyDecorativeFilm and their products.

I recently moved to a new house in Texas where heat is an issue. My bedroom windows face east so the morning can get pretty hot, and as the thermostat is not in the bedroom, even though my AC is set to a comfortable temp, my bedroom still heats up.I started looking for options to reduce the heat and came across several brands of film. I decided to go with BDF based on their training videos, as I had never done this before and was a bit intimidated by the installation process. I also compared the efficiency that different brands claim for heat reduction, and all seemed similar.Installation process:As a newbie, I felt that the first window that I treated took me a while to get right. I messed up while removing the backing but was able to salvage the film. As I progressed, I noticed how my skill was getting better and that I had. If you are new to this process, it's almost certain that you'll mess up the first (and maybe second) installation, but once you get the hang of it, you'll get comfortable and efficient.I have a couple of room thermometers, and I did see a difference in my bedroom of around 5 degrees, so, for me, this product worked great.Note: while I was doing research, I read complaints about how you might leave bubbles between the window and film. This does happen a little bit, but as time passes and heat evaporates the remaining liquid, the bubbles disappear. Also, the squeegee tool that comes with the film is excellent, as it has a hard edge for corners, and a cloth edge to have a smooth sliding experience without damaging the film. Now I can't even tell the film is there.I will buy more film to apply to the rest of my house.

Thank you
